Whats The Medication For Lump On The Neck Apart From Surgery?
I have a lump on the back of my neck. I have no pain. It itches at times. This morning after showering I noticed it was oozing a clear liquid and a little puss. Besides calling a doctor, what should I do. I was scheduled to have it surgically removed 11/15.

Hi
The symptoms as described are of an abscess of the skin,It is common to be in the back.
It should be find when all the pus is discharged.Apply pressure to push all the pus out then apply antibiotic cream and disinfectant.
you should then be examined by a doctor to see if you need a surgical procedure at all.if the puss is out then you need no surgery.
